  • I’m not trying to be a dick (it just comes naturally), but I wonder if there’s a connection between antibac wipes, sanitiser and the need for moisturiser…

    I don’t use the wipes on my hands and I usually don’t use the sanitiser, it’s just if I can’t get soap and water and need to clean my hands. I’ve still needed moisturiser when I’ve not used sanitiser anyway.

    In any case, the moisturiser fixes the problem, so I don’t see any downside tbh


  • Quite a lot tbh.

    • Water bottle to stay hydrated
    • Nail clippers because if I don’t carry them I pick my hangnails and my fingers would be perpetually bleeding lol
    • Lip balm cause I get dry lips
    • Moisturiser cause I get dry hands
    • Tissues
    • A multi-tool
    • USB-C charger
    • Wallet
    • Keys
    • Antibac wipes
    • Hand sanitiser too lol
    • Watch
    • Lighter

    Obviously it’s a long list but these are small objects so it’s not really a lot when you’re carrying a bag.

    I usually don’t carry a phone or anything like that if I don’t need it where I’m going; normally I can avoid it. But if I need a phone, laptop, etc where I’m going then I’ll have that on me too.






  • Forensic data on you is already pretty easy to obtain unless you’re taking special effort to avoid it being taken. Also when you get arrested they take whatever biometrics they like. The info on you those DNA testing companies are getting is info already easily available to the government. I guess if you’re concerned about your DNA being used to tailor ads to you, not just to criminalise you, it could be an issue, but idk I don’t think your DNA can really predict what ads will be effective on you.



  • More specifically, it’s the name used by the attacker. Could well be multiple people, or if it’s one person (still almost certainly state-funded, but the state can fund one person), a fake name nevertheless. We have no info about this person’s real life identity. They used a VPN in Singapore, and some people have looked at the times of the commits to try guess a timezone, though that’s not foolproof as they could’ve just been a nocturnal person, or even tried to schedule commits to happen at a time to suggest they’re in a different timezone, though I think the latter is unlikely and overkill.




  • Yeah afaik any AMD card should work out of the box with the Linux kernel, which includes AMD drivers. Never had any problems with my AMD card. Even on Nvidia it worked, admittedly proprietary Nvidia graphics driver updates frequently broke my graphics but downgrading (in a tty or even a chroot if I can’t do it graphically, I think I only ever needed a tty though I don’t think I ever needed to chroot because of an nvidia update) fixed it, and using outdated Nvidia drivers was not too big of a deal, I didn’t notice game performance issues.

    And gaming on Linux is completely fine if you don’t have any kind of funky setup (like musl or whatever). The majority of my steam library has native linux versions, those that don’t play fine with Wine/Proton.
